vsz~ aaQvlaB~rs elm cossm~nvE DsE <br />Figure 8 ie a schematic diagram illustrating water uee and flow at the <br />mice and associated facilitieB; including sources of water. water use. <br />discharges and consumptive uses. Complete meter records of the water <br />meters shown on the diagram are available for almost all of 1985. The <br />records have been amended to reflect a full calendar year for 1985 and <br />those numbers have been used in the analysis of water uee at the mine. <br />The Southfield Mine is entitled to 60 gallons per minute from the Corley <br />Mine Well. which tape water in the old Corley Mine (Rea Carbon seam). <br />This ie a decreed water right with uses listed as "other in Case No. <br />W-642. The Rules and Regulations for Division 2 ordered by the State <br />Engineers Office would allow the Corley Mine Well to pump three days out <br />of seven per week. This schedule would allow an annual diversion of 41.4 <br />acre-fee[. The Corley Well was used when the mine was first started. es <br />mining progressed and more water was produced by the mine. necessitating <br />mine dewatering by the North Entry Well and other sumps. the mine has had <br />to rely less on the Corley Mine Well for fulfilling water requirements. <br />Southfield Mine dewatering is currently being accomplished by underground <br />pampa and the North Entry Well. The North Entry Well pampa mine inflow to <br />the first fresh water pond (see Figure 8). Corley We11 water also can be <br />pumped to the fire[ fresh water pond. Water from this pond is distributed <br />via the second fresh water pond to all phases of the mining operation as <br />needed. During the past few years. the Corley Well has not been used as a <br />water source because ae a practical matter. enough water for all uses has <br />been available from the North Entry Well and underground pampa. Recently. <br />Energy Fuels Coal. Inc. has re-activated the Corley Mine Well for <br />consumptive use water only and is discharging North Entry Well water to <br />the stream system. Because the North_Entry Well is not adjudicated for <br />mine use. plane are to continue using [he Corley Mine Well for mine uee <br />and the North Entry Well will be used only for dewatering end <br />supplementary water uee purposes. <br />- 15 - <br /> <br />
